Paramedics testified on Tuesday that Joedin Leger had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was already deceased by the time they arrived at his home two years ago. Christopher Johnson, a paramedic with Ambulance New Brunswick, stated, “He had no pulse, he had no heart rate,” emphasizing that all vital signs were absent.
Johnson and his colleague Jerome Scott provided their testimony during the sixth day of Riley Robert Sheldon Phillips’s trial for second-degree murder. Phillips, who is 20 years old, is accused of killing Joedin Lloyd Leger in Moncton on April 25, 2022, and has pleaded not guilty.
The prosecution claims that Leger was shot during a home invasion and robbery involving Phillips and five accomplices. When the paramedics arrived at Leger’s residence on Logan Lane in the city’s north end, they found a woman performing chest compressions on him.
